My students are amazing humans who are eager to learn a second language! Despite living in and going to school in a low-income, high needs area, they are incredibly resilient. We are a school in an on the south side of Chicago in need of some extra funding to get the most out of the Spanish program at our school.
Students are extremely motivated to learn a new language and understand the vast benefits of being bilingual in today's world.
Please help us get the resources we need to have an awesome year!
My Project
Having a rug would do wonders for my classroom! Since I teach the entire school, Pre-K to 8th grade, it is difficult to accomodate all age groups in one spot. My younger students would benefit tremendously from having a place to sit together to learn since they have difficulty seeing and sitting in the "big kid" desks.
Having a rug in my classroom would allow for more concentration, more comradery and better instruction.
Students would have a sense of community while playing games, singing songs and speaking the language all together.
The rug would provide a space for joyous learning, allowing students to delve into a new language and different cultures. It would provide a space to discover, collaborate, play and learn!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
